With the exponential growth of social media and new touchpoints, customers are interacting with brands and organizations at a much faster pace, generating volumes of unstructured data in the form of customer reviews, feedback, preferences, trends, etc. Other metadata such as demographic data, transaction data or point of sale data, when combined with unstructured data can help organizations better understand consumer behavior and market forces, at a much more granular and deeper level. This enables brands to make effective business decisions for profitable growth.
This presentation explains how unstructured data analytics can help in building a digital library of news, blogs, and research papers to keep track of changing trends and news, as well as creating a digital summary to ensure information from various online resources are used to ensure technology, product development, and customer experience teams stay updated about the latest trends.
The presentation also covered and introduced our Unstructured Text Analytics Platform ("UTAP") which allows the automation of classification of unstructured text data to categories, enabling organizations to track customer categories/issues over a stipulated period of time, with faster and more efficient analysis of unstructured text data.

Companies must also carefully design data governance between global and regional teams. Rising demand volatility further challenges traditional demand planning approaches and highlights the need for improvements.
